GRADUATE SCHOOLS

Instructor in Medical School to Speak on "Mouth Health"

Sixth in the series of public lectures, given on Sunday afternoons at the Harvard Medical School, is the talk on "Mouth Health" to be given by Dr. H. A. Kent, instructor in oral surgery at the Harvard Medical School. The lecture will start promptly at 4 o'clock.

Dr. Kent emphasizes the importance of education to health as follows: "Physicians and dentists are teaching their patients the value of observing the various common rules of hygiene sanitation, personal cleanliness and proper diet and yet there are some who have not fully appreciated that an unclean mouth is a most prolific source of danger to the health of the individual, or that a disregard for the principles of correct living often expresses itself in the teeth or their supporting structures by causing either or both to break down.

"A movement is gaining momentum in the form of a cooperation between physician, dentist, and patient in an effort to know understand and carry out those measures which tend to procure protection against disease for the coming generations."
